The former Gunners midfielder has accused the Chilean of “going into hiding” after chasing a big-money salary at Old Trafford
Emmanuel Petit has accused Alexis Sanchez of going into hiding after receiving his big pay-day at Manchester United, jokingly suggesting Jose Mourinho signed his brother instead.
After a disappointing 2-2 draw at Southampton that has seen the Red Devils slip further behind in the race to finish in the top four, United will look to bounce back when they take on Arsenal at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
With the pressure already on Mourinho, defeat to Unai Emery’s side, who were so impressive in their 4-2 win against Tottenham, would add further uncertainty over the Portuguese’s position.

“The record books will not say they didn’t play well in this game, or this player was poor in this game, or the keeper made a mistake in the final. Who cares about any of that? It’s all about winning the big trophies.
“It doesn’t matter how you get there. Mourinho knows this and he has won more than almost every manager in the game.
“What I would say is that some players are hiding at Manchester United. I bet some are quite happy to hear the criticism of Mourinho and say it is all his fault.
“They hear the media saying Mourinho is doing this wrong, doing that wrong and they smile, but he is not on the pitch. He puts you on the pitch for one of the biggest clubs in the world and it is your responsibility to play well. Too many of them have been hiding and it is not good to see.”
